Definitions

  • the invention relates to heat transfer compositions, and in particular to heat transfer compositions which may be suitable as replacements for existing refrigerants such as R- 134a, R-152a, R-1234yf, R-22, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R507 and R-404a.
  • a refrigerant liquid evaporates at low pressure taking heat from the surrounding zone.
  • the resulting vapour is then compressed and passed to a condenser where it condenses and gives off heat to a second zone, the condensate being returned through an expansion valve to the evaporator, so completing the cycle.
  • Mechanical energy required for compressing the vapour and pumping the liquid is provided by, for example, an electric motor or an internal combustion engine.
  • the properties preferred in a refrigerant include low toxicity, non-flammability, non-corrosivity, high stability and freedom from objectionable odour.
  • Other desirable properties are ready compressibility at pressures below 25 bars, low discharge temperature on compression, high refrigeration capacity, high efficiency (high coefficient of performance) and an evaporator pressure in excess of 1 bar at the desired evaporation temperature.
  • Dichlorodifluoromethane (refrigerant R-12) possesses a suitable combination of properties and was for many years the most widely used refrigerant. Due to international concern that fully and partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbons were damaging the earth's protective ozone layer, there was general agreement that their manufacture and use should be severely restricted and eventually phased out completely. The use of dichlorodifluoromethane was phased out in the 1990's.
  • Chlorodifluoromethane (R-22) was introduced as a replacement for R-12 because of its lower ozone depletion potential. Following concerns that R-22 is a potent greenhouse gas, its use is also being phased out. Whilst heat transfer devices of the type to which the present invention relates are essentially closed systems, loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere can occur due to leakage during operation of the equipment or during maintenance procedures. It is important, therefore, to replace fully and partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants by materials having zero ozone depletion potentials.
  • R-410A and R-407 refrigerants have been introduced as a replacement refrigerant for R-22.
  • R-22, R-410A and the R-407 refrigerants all have a high global warming potential (GWP, also known as greenhouse warming potential).
  • R-134a 1 ,1 ,1 ,2-tetrafluoroethane
  • R-134a is an energy efficient refrigerant, used currently for automotive air conditioning.
  • GWP of C0 2 is 1 by definition.
  • the proportion of the overall environmental impact of automotive air conditioning systems using this gas, which may be attributed to the direct emission of the refrigerant, is typically in the range 10-20%.
  • Legislation has now been passed in the European Union to rule out use of refrigerants having GWP of greater than 150 for new models of car from 2011.
  • the car industry operates global technology platforms, and in any event emission of greenhouse gas has global impact, thus there is a need to find fluids having reduced environmental impact (e.g. reduced GWP) compared to HFC-134a.
  • R-152a (1 ,1-difluoroethane) has been identified as an alternative to R-134a. It is somewhat more efficient than R-134a and has a greenhouse warming potential of 120. However the flammability of R-152a is judged too high, for example to permit its safe use in mobile air conditioning systems. In particular it is believed that its lower flammable limit in air is too low, its flame speeds are too high, and its ignition energy is too low. Thus there is a need to provide alternative refrigerants having improved properties such as low flammability. Fluorocarbon combustion chemistry is complex and unpredictable.
  • R-1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) has been identified as a candidate alternative refrigerant to replace R-134a in certain applications, notably the mobile air conditioning or heat pumping applications. Its GWP is about 4. R-1234yf is flammable but its flammability characteristics are generally regarded as acceptable for some applications including mobile air conditioning or heat pumping. In particular, when compared with R- 152a, its lower flammable limit is higher, its minimum ignition energy is higher and the flame speed in air is significantly lower than that of R-152a.
  • R-1234yf The energy efficiency and refrigeration capacity of R-1234yf have been found to be significantly lower than those of R-134a and in addition the fluid has been found to exhibit increased pressure drop in system pipework and heat exchangers. A consequence of this is that to use R-1234yf and achieve energy efficiency and cooling performance equivalent to R-134a, increased complexity of equipment and increased size of pipework is required, leading to an increase in indirect emissions associated with equipment. Furthermore, the production of R-1234yf is thought to be more complex and less efficient in its use of raw materials (fluorinated and chlorinated) than R-134a. Current projections of long term pricing for R-1234yf is in the range 10-20 times greater than R-134a.
  • Some existing technologies designed for R-134a may not be able to accept even the reduced flammability of some heat transfer compositions (any composition having a GWP of less than 150 is believed to be flammable to some extent).
  • a principal object of the present invention is therefore to provide a heat transfer composition which is usable in its own right or suitable as a replacement for existing refrigeration usages which should have a reduced GWP, yet have a capacity and energy efficiency (which may be conveniently expressed as the "Coefficient of Performance") ideally within 10% of the values, for example of those attained using existing refrigerants (e.g. R-134a, R-152a, R-1234yf, R-22, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R507 and R- 404a), and preferably within less than 10% (e.g. about 5%) of these values. It is known in the art that differences of this order between fluids are usually resolvable by redesign of equipment and system operational features.
  • the composition should also ideally have reduced toxicity and acceptable flammability.

  • the preferred amounts and choice of components for the invention are determined by a combination of properties: (a) Flammability: non-flammable or weakly flammable compositions are preferred.
  • the effective operating temperature in an air conditioning cycle is limited by the need to avoid ice formation on the air-side surface of the refrigerant evaporator.
  • air conditioning systems must cool and dehumidify humid air; so liquid water will be formed on the air-side surface.
  • Most evaporators (without exception for the automotive application) have finned surfaces with narrow fin spacing. If the evaporator is too cold then ice can be formed between the fins, restricting the flow of air over the surface and reducing overall performance by reducing the working area of the heat exchanger.
  • the critical temperature of a heat transfer composition should be higher than the maximum expected condenser temperature. This is because the cycle efficiency drops as critical temperature is approached. As this happens, the latent heat of the refrigerant is reduced and so more of the heat rejection in the condenser takes place by cooling gaseous refrigerant; this requires more area per unit heat transferred.

  • the coefficient of performance (COP) is the ratio of the amount of heat energy delivered in the condenser of the heat pump cycle to the amount of work consumed by the compressor.
  • R-134a The performance of R-134a is taken as the reference point for comparison of heating capacity, energy efficiency and pressure drop. This fluid is used as a reference for comparison of the ability of the fluids of the invention to be used in the heat pump mode of an automotive combined air conditioning and heat pump system.
  • fluids of the invention are not limited to automotive systems. Indeed these fluids can be used in so-called stationary (residential or commercial) equipment.
  • stationary equipment Currently the main fluids used in such stationary equipment are R-410A (having a GWP of 2100) or R22 (having a GWP of 1800 and an ozone depletion potential of 0.05).
  • R-410A having a GWP of 2100
  • R22 having a GWP of 1800 and an ozone depletion potential of 0.05
  • the use of the fluids of the invention in such stationary equipment offers the ability to realise similar utility but with fluids having no ozone depletion potential and significantly reduced GWP compared to R410A.
  • fluids of the invention can provide improved energy efficiency compared to R-134a or R-410A. It is unexpectedly found that the addition of carbon dioxide to the refrigerants of the invention can increase the COP of the resulting cycle above that of R- 134a, even in case where admixture of the other mixture components would result in a fluid having worse energy efficiency than R-134a. It is further found for all the fluids of the invention that compositions up to about 30% w/w of C0 2 can be used which yield refrigerant fluids whose critical temperature is about 70 °C or higher. This is particularly significant for stationary heat pumping applications where R-410A is currently used.
  • the fundamental thermodynamic efficiency of a vapour compression process is affected by proximity of the critical temperature to the condensing temperature.
  • R-410A has gained acceptance and can be considered an acceptable fluid for this application; its critical temperature is 71 °C. It has unexpectedly been found that significant quantities of C0 2 (critical temperature 31 °C) can be incorporated in fluids of the invention to yield mixtures having similar or higher critical temperature to R-410A. Preferred compositions of the invention therefore have critical temperatures are about 70 °C or higher.
  • the heating capacity of the preferred fluids of the invention typically exceeds that of R134a. It is thought that R-134a alone, operated in an automotive a/c and heat pump system, cannot provide all of the potential passenger air heating demand in heat pump mode. Therefore higher heating capacities than R-134a are preferred for potential use in an automotive a/c and heat pump application.
  • the fluids of the invention offer the ability to optimise fluid capacity and energy efficiency for both air conditioning and cooling modes so as to provide an improved overall energy efficiency for both duties.
  • the heating capacity of R-410A in the same cycle conditions was estimated at about 290% of the R-134a value and the corresponding energy efficiency was found to be about 106% of the R-134a reference value. It is evident by inspection of the tables that fluids of the invention have been discovered having comparable heating capacities and energy efficiencies to R-410A, allowing adaption of existing R-410A technology to use the fluids of the invention if so desired.
  • compositions of the invention offer reduced pressure drop compared to R-134a.
  • This reduced pressure drop characteristic is believed to result in further improvement in energy efficiency (through reduction of pressure losses) in a real system.
  • Pressure drop effects are of particular significance for automotive air conditioning and heat pump applications so these fluids offer particular advantage for this application.
  • the performance of fluids of the invention were compared to binary mixtures of C0 2 /R1234ze(E).
  • the energy efficiency of the ternary mixtures was increased relative to the binary mixture having equivalent C0 2 content.
